The best part!

 

[Pucky Freak]

Got an hour scouting hike in on 4/1. No birds, no sign. I did find a promising fishing or wood duck spot - mouth of a deep slack water channel off the main waterway. I also jumped a buck still sporting his antlers.

Ticks are already horrible in Ohio. the best repellent that I have used for years. (Skin so soft). I scene it on a turkey hunting forum years ago and it has never disappointed me. Plus, you kind of smell good.

Permethrin...applied to clothes, not skin...is the repellent to use for ticks. The Picaridin in skin so soft doesnt work as well.

The boys went 2 for 3 this weekend. Beau and I didn’t end up getting anything close enough to shoot. Will hit it again in a couple weeks.

We did a pickle brine on some wild turkey nuggs on Saturday and breaded with Kentucky Colonel seasoned flour and it was top 5 things I have ever eaten. 10/10 highly recommend.

Ever try Weisenberger Mill batter on them? That used to be my go-to in the Commonwealth.

I have not, we are generally a KY Colonel family, but I'm open to trying it.

4 strutters in the field with about 10 hens and this guy is in the middle of the road going to pound town! Give him a cigarette!

I've found that a regimen of permethrin & picaradin work great. We use the picaradin lotion and it's long lasting, even if you sweat like a fat man in a high humidity area.

We spray permethrin on our outdoor clothes, dog blankets, dog beds for camping/hunting, sleeping bags, etc.

I'm gonna outlast those tiny $*)Q!#@$ bastards.

Boys are singing & strutting. Had 2 toms in the driveway trying to figure out who was toughest.

Next up for me is 18th opener with my 9yo again, then hopefully get one myself that weekend then off to ID panhandle on 4/21 and if I get one there back over to the bitterroot to try (again) to get one in MT. All the while looking for a bear.

Youth season is the 25th here in PA. We started getting toms on camera as they move into the farms. The kids are getting pumped. It id snow a dusting last night so that stinks. lol

 

[Ben Lamb]

Two threads have merged into one.

A couple of toms have invaded my wife's greenhouse.

This could get sporty.

Our youth season opens Saturday. Leaving with the kids and FIL Friday for western Oklahoma. Have to have the boy back to baseball practice a bit over 2 hours away by 2:30pm Sunday. So our two day hunt was already down to a day and a half. Now I'm looking at the weather and looks like thunderstorms start Saturday afternoon and roll till midday Sunday. We're gonna give it a go but I'm starting to feel the pressure.

Mother in laws place is full of birds right now.
